Mark messages in here-documents without interpolation for translation. The here-document delimiter \EOF, which is the same as 'EOF', indicates that the text is to be treated literally without interpolation of its content. Unfortunately xgettext is not able to extract here-documents delimited with \EOF but it is with delimiter enclosed in single quotes. So change \EOF to 'EOF', although in this case does not make difference what variation of here-document to use since there is nothing to interpolate.
